6. Preparing the vacuum cleaner

Connect the suction piece and the telescopic extension together.
Adjust the telescopic extension to your height by pressing the locking button and extending or retracting the tube.
Insert the suction hose into the suction hose opening until you hear it click into place.
▶ To remove the suction hose, press the two side release buttons and pull off the suction hose.
▶ Attach a suitable suction nozzle to the telescopic extension:

Suction nozzle Application

Universal floor nozzle • Pressed foot switch: short pile carpet and smooth floors• Foot switch up: high pile carpets

Crevice/brush nozzle Crevice nozzle:Vacuuming corners and places the floor nozzle cannot reach, folds in fabric etc.Brush nozzle:Vacuuming sensitive objects such as books, picture frames etc.

Upholstery nozzle Vacuuming upholstery or mattresses

▶ Make sure that the dust container is inserted correctly.

▶ Unwind the mains cable to the yellow mark by pulling the handle of the mains plug. When the red mark is visible, the cable is fully unwound and further pulling can damage the cable drum. You should therefore unwind the cable carefully and slowly as soon as the yellow mark is visible.

- Plug the mains plug into a properly installed earthed power socket.

Your vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

7. Vacuuming

▶ Press the foot switch Ⓘ to switch the vacuum cleaner on.
▶ To vacuum, push or pull the nozzle over the area to be cleaned.

To increase or decrease the suction power, e.g. when vacuuming car seats or curtains, turn the suction power control clockwise or anti-clockwise until the desired suction power is set.

▶ Move the cover of the secondary air valve for more precise adjustment of the suction power. The further you open the valve, the lower the suction power at the bottom of the nozzle.
